The Russo brothers talk about Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War and how he will be portrayed.

Marvel fans have been looking forward to Spider-Man entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe and thanks to an amazing deal between Marvel and Sony it will finally happen in Captain America: Civil War. In a new interview with the Russo brothers who will be directing the film, they talk about how Spider-Man is being handled in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"“We took a very personal approach to the character. He was my favorite character growing up, so the opportunity to bring Spider-Man to the screen is a dream come true. It's something that I spent a lot of time thinking about as a kid. We had thought back to the things that excited us about him as a character when we were younger, and one of the most important components of that was that he's a high schooler burdened with incredible powers and responsibility. That really differentiates him from every other character in the Marvel universe as opposed to other superheroes. For us, it was extremely important that we cast somebody very close to the age of a high school student. The previous films had adults playing a high schooler. We wanted more of an authenticity to the casting. We were very specific about that. We wanted an energy and charisma from the character, an energy, but also an insecurity that would make him fun to watch in contrast to the confident superheroes." 

"I want to be clear. We're not trying to denigrate other interpretations of Spider-Man. Raimi's movies are fantastic. Spider-Man one and two are amazing. Two, is one of if not my favorite comic book movie of all time. But he made a very strong choice with those movies from a color palate standpoint to a costume standpoint, execution standpoint, camerawork standpoint to honor the feeling of the comic book. We're trying to honor the feeling of naturalism and to honor the feeling of reality. The harder we can pull these characters into reality, the better for us, especially because we're all so connected now through social media, the Internet. We're all so dialed in to what's happening in current events. That it's important for us that these characters live in the world that we live in because it makes them more real and it makes our experience of watching them more passionate and more well-rounded.”"

I am extremely excited to see Marvel's version of Spider-Man. Spider-Man has always been my favorite Marvel character and it is really exciting to know that he'll be sharing the screen with the other iconic heroes from Marvel comics.

Captain America: Civil War will be in theaters on May 6, 2016.
